marriage made in hollywood
Singer: paul brady
jimmy's not a high concept guy
but he's front page news
let me tell you why
he's on the cover of the new york post
all three networks
coast to coast
all he needed was a hot night in june
'cause he had the needle and he had the spoon
when he spiked it bit
and man
he flew
into america's living room
we all love tragedy
it loves us too
it's a marriage made in hollywood
between greed and you
all you need to be a star is to die in open view
it's a marriage made in hollywood
between greed and you
between greed and you
between greed and you
loved by women
admired by men
he walked down broadway with his best friend
his brain was wired like a light in a socket
with his old friend in his back pocket
that horse could kick
that horse could scream
ride you out of here into a different scene
unrequited love
that makes it fair
but who keeps score when you're in mid-air?
we all love tragedy
it loves us too
it's a marriage made in hollywood
between greed and you
all you need to be a star is to die in open view
it's a marriage made in hollywood
between greed and you
between greed and you
between greed and you
like a free-fall chute that didn't open
he looked down to see his dream was broken
he stared back up at a hot grey sky
re-run his life and then he died
well if you jump off a building
brother beware!
cause my friend jimmy woke up mid-air
no time to smile
no time to wave
they buried him in a media grave
we all love tragedy
it loves us too
it's a marriage made in hollywood
between greed and you
all you need to be a star is to die in open view
it's a marriage made in hollywood
between greed and you
between greed and you
between greed and you
